Be proud of yourself. First VS? Holy cremola!
Fought my way up this, several years ago. It was green, polished (I know, I still can't work that one out), then damp, drizzling and finally deluging.
Having done hundreds of Extremes didn't help in the slightest. The biggest cam we had, shoved in to the hilt, did help massively to get my pounding heartbeat down. We stood on top like a pair of drowned rats, giggling manically.
Oddly enough, I had the distinct feeling it wouldn't have been that much easier in the dry.
First VS - what a one to do! You always remember your first VS. And what a one to remember.
